The Dockitjet uses an unsinkable RIB as an alternative for [fiberglass structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-day-boat), since it is more practical, stable, lightweight and fast. The Dockitjet can carry six people plus all their stuff with extreme ease. **Implications** - The featured video shows the unsinkable boat in action. People who are afraid of boats may feel a little bit safer in the Dockitjet 5.6m RIB. The boat is great for fishing, going for a swim, [scuba diving or just hanging out](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-hangout-shade). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Jet Boat Innovation:** The Dockitjet has created an innovative solution to enhance the power and stability of watercrafts using a jetski to power a larger, unsinkable boat. - **Alternative Materials in Boating:** By using a Rigid Inflatable Boat instead of traditional fiberglass structures, Dockitjet has developed a more practical, stable, lightweight, and fast means of transportation on the water. - **Multipurpose Watercraft:** Dockitjet's RIB can carry six people and all their belongings with ease, making it a versatile option for activities such as fishing, swimming, and even scuba diving. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Recreational Boating:** The boating industry could benefit from exploring the use of alternative materials and jet ski technology to create more versatile, safe, and practical watercrafts for recreational use. - **Water Sports Equipment:** Companies involved in water sports and equipment manufacturing could explore creating hybrid watercrafts using jetski-power and RIB technology to appeal to the recreational market. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Tourism and hospitality companies can explore utilizing Dockitjet's versatile and transportable RIB for recreational activities such as scuba diving and island-hopping tours to enhance guest experiences on the water. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wondrously Versatile Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versatile-watercraft.md) - [Jet Ski-Powered Micro Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-jet-ski-yacht.md) - [Boat-Like Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanquish-yachts-vq11.md) - [Floating Bar-Style Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bote-inflatable-dock-hangout-classic.md) - [Shell-Like Premium Speed Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jet-capsule-super-sport.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md) - [Multifunctional Four-Seater Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-crosswave-waverunner.md) - [Mobile Motorized Inflatable Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goboat-20.md) - [Motorcycle-Inspired Watercraft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/searider-searacer.md)
